I've gotten so much done today. Above is a section of the finished piece

called Transformation.Next on my list - find a printer to produce it. When it's printed, I'll show you the whole thing and also have prints available.

I'm on a 'heart' kick lately if you haven't noticed. Here's part of a new sketch:

I'm actually surprised with how fast I've been able to create some of the things that I've been meaning to get around to. I think I've finally gotten past the part of me that says, "You don't have enough time to draw that". I'm able to accomplish much more when I set away a certain amount of time to get things created. When it's all said and done, 2 Sunday sessions and I'm able to crank some serious work out.

On a side note, I've always wanted a pink room...and a chandelier. So what do you do when you're not an electrician and you're renting? You paint one.

I ran to Michaels and bought every shade of pink paint I could possibly find and went to work. I intend to hang it above my bed.

I draw the shapes in Illustrator, print it, then use a projector to get the image on the canvas and paint away.

It's going to be part of a grouping that sort of looks like this (I use the computer alot just to plan out shapes and balance and give myself a general feel for what I'm going for):

Studio Sunday = the day I draw all day.Today I felt a great need to get my tremendous growth in faith on paper. I drew a heart that is being radically changed through love, growth and trials.

First I sketch, then I add ink, scan the image in, and then......add color. Or not? I spent most of the day beginning to add color, but I'm torn because I really just love the way the line drawing looks.

Hmmm, maybe a version of both - one color, one line art? I know I only give you peeks of the color version. It's not finished yet!
